Exciting news! Over 15 new images has been added to the Kona (Hawaii) Image Archive, for a current total of 50 originals. They’re all full resolution, 45mb files. These images are geared more towards traditional stock and commercial usage. Many, but not all, of the images added prior have a fine art approach.

These images focus more on the holiday resort aspect of Kona, volcanic rock, and a pretty rare look at an abandoned energy turbine farm in the southern most tip of the USA. Keep an eye out for the cow. Enjoy.

More images to come. Click here to view all the images to date.

Mahana Bay, Hawaii

Dean Oros — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 19:21:26 +0000

ABOVE: Part of my Hawaii trip included a drive and hike to Mahana Bay. It is located just north of the southernmost tip of the United States, Ka Lae (South Point) on the Big Island of Hawai’i. It is a beach full of green sand. In order to get to the beach one must walk three miles on a four-wheel drive road. It is north of Kaulana Bay. The beach was made by volcanic phenomena. Instead of the sand turning black it turned green. Big chunks are called olivine. It is also known as peridot, the birthstone for August. The colour of the ocean was incredible. It was even more incredible to swim in it.

ABOVE: Richly coloured sand of reds and browns surrounded by lava rock is part of the view as one walks the 3 miles to Mahana Bay.

ABOVE: Layers of hardened molten lava and volcanic rock formed the cove surrounding the beach of Mahana Bay. We can see where people have attempted to carve letters into the rock.

Sneak Peek: The Big Island, Hawaii

Found! Budapest, Hungary

Dean Oros — Sun, 24 Jan 2010 13:00:56 +0000

Back in 2003 I visited Hungary, and travelled all over the countryside visiting wineries during one of the worst heat waves in European history. Wow, was it hot.

It was also one of the last times I photographed using 35mm film. Back then I only shot for fun.

I’ve been reviewing hundreds of images to archive, and it was enjoyable finding the Hungary negatives and scanning them into digital images. And so, they’ve been given new life, and are now part of my permanent digital archive.

Following are just a few images. Click here to view the rest of them.
